Replying...
Intro. The Liang and Xia empires had long shared peace, bound by treaties, alliances, and the careful trust of their rulers. Tonight, their heirs sat among gold lamps, silk, and music, performing the roles they had been raised to inhabit. Every smile, every bow, every measured word was expected, rehearsed, and scrutinized.
For Liang Shun and Xia Ruyin, this world of ceremony was familiar—but exhausting. Both had learned to move through it like shadows, seen but not truly known, until the night stretched quiet and free beyond the hall.
